Refunds

A refund can be issued only if a photography session cannot be re-scheduled due to bad weather conditions. 

In case of a photography session cancellation by the client, the 50% deposit can be applied as a credit for a future photo shoot.

In consideration to our clients, and in light of the Covid risk, we can offer a temporary alternative to our standard non-refundable policy. If you must cancel (minimum 48 hours before your photography session) due to Covid, and we are unable to reschedule to another date, then we can offer to keep your deposit as a credit for future photography services with us.

To Our Clients

Our goal is to provide you with the best photographs possible no matter what the weather conditions may be at any time of the year. We work all year round including on official US holidays (extra charges may apply). We suggest to book a photography session several months in advance due to high demand. However, we do offer last minute scheduling based on our availability.

Please note that the weather is unpredictable (especially in Florida) and we kindly ask our clients for understanding if we need to re-schedule our photography session.

Working for families and little kids is fun, but it can also be stressful. Since a photography session time is limited, we kindly ask parents to let the photographer work with your child during the photoshoot. We have years of experience working with babies and little kids using specific techniques to capture their attention.

What’s Happening After a Photo Shoot

Once a photography session is complete it takes us hours at the studio for post production work to deliver your photographs. Usually, we capture from 50 – 400 pictures per single photo session. Once the photographs are uploaded and safely backed up, we carefully review each photograph to select the best pictures for you. Once the selection is complete and the photos are uploaded to a flash drive, DropBox or a ZIP file, then they are ready to be delivered to the client. 

When a client receives the photographs via flash drive, DropBox or ZIP file, then it’s time to make your photo selection and email or text your photo numbers back to us for a final step – professional retouching. Please do not send us the actual photographs via email or text. All we need is a complete photo number. The photo number can be found at the bottom of each photograph. Please note the photo number contains a combination of letters and digits.
